94 Robert Parker
The 1987 Masseto comes across as quite floral, delicate and understated, with lovely definition in its fruit. I don’t think the 1987 has too many more years of fine drinking left, but it is undeniably impressive in every way right now. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. <br/>

87 Wine Spectator
A smoky version, with a plum cake and resin bouquet. This is thinning out, but still has some vestiges of fruit, along with lifted acidity and tannins. Merlot.—Non-blind Masseto vertical (October 2017). Drink now.

86 James Suckling
This was the first official vintage of this wine, even though a pure merlot was made at Ornellaia in 1986. It's still round and juicy but it shows a Madeira character to it. A little tired. Drink now.
